Summer breaks can be filled with leisure and relaxation, reminiscent of past carefree experiences. Growing up in South Florida, summer days were marked by swimming, socializing, and a lack of strict schedules. Similarly, current summer breaks allow children to enjoy lazy days without obligations, embracing a less structured lifestyle. Without the pressures of camps or academic programs, kids are encouraged to embrace downtime, contrasting sharply with their busy school year ahead. The fleeting nature of childhood summers emphasizes the importance of enjoying this time together as a family.
Growing up in South Florida, summer breaks were a blur of pool days, sleepovers, mall trips, and a lot of sleeping in. My days fell into an easy rhythm: I'd roll out of bed around noon, toss on a swimsuit, grab a Diet Pepsi and a granola bar, then flop into a lounge chair by the pool.
We're four weeks into summer break, and I'm happy to report my kids have settled into their own version of a 1980s summer. Some people call it "kid rot" - lounging around on screens, staying up until midnight, and generally doing a whole lot of nothing.
